4.75
It all started quite an ordinary romance but then OMG... I swear my jaw dropped every 10 pages.
However I'd give it 4.75 instead of full 5 stars since there are waaaay too many references from the bible and English poems. Not that it's a bad thing, but it gets too much at some point and almost threw me off to a slump. But hey I managed because thankfully I got the edition with footnotes for the contexts.
that one part after crazy shooting scene where they opened Boldwood's drawer to reveal crazy-ass possession such as jewelries and dresses for Bathsheba... yeah... that was craaazy.
